(generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
Vascular Cell represents an open access medical journal which concentrates on publication of a wide range of topics related to the vascular system including neo-vascularization and angiogenesis. Since vascular endothelial cells represent a crucial factor in numerous pathological conditions such as: cancer, stroke, myocardial infarction or atherosclerosis their behavior is of paramount importance for the clinical outcomes of a wide range of patients. In this context, Vascular Cell selects for publication the best experimental studies as well as clinical trials and case reports. Also, our journal publishes innovative molecular and immunohistochemistry protocols and methods, including quantitative digital pathology studies related to vascular pathways and factors. We are interested in studies describing the molecular mechanisms of vascular development as well as in vivo imaging experiments and clinical trials evaluating mediators interfering with angiogenesis. However, as angiogenesis represents a key player modulating tissue regeneration and 3D biological additive manufacturing, our journal publishes manuscripts reporting innovative research focusing on these topics. On a special note, Vascular Cell will particularly encourage the publication of inter- and trans-disciplinary studies validating concepts or hypotheses related to vascular cells physiopathology. Topics Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Molecular and cellular mechanisms of angiogenesis Molecular and cellular mechanisms of vascular embryology Angiogenesis and cancer Angiogenesis and cardiovascular pathology Angiogenesis and cerebral stroke Angiogenesis and neurodegenerative diseases Angiogenesis, tissue regeneration including wound healing and 3 D additive biological manufacturing Angiogenesis and inflammation Angiogenesis and diabetes mellitus Pathologies related to vascular system (blood, bone, muscle etc.) Imaging methods and protocols related to vascular system Immunohistochemistry related to vascular markers Clinical studies related to anti- or pro-angiogenic factors Case presentation focusing on a rare vascular entity
